    Toys R Us -- ruining a company is very lucrative

    Wait and see is mostly what the story is about. Pretty thin on details. Toys ‘R’ Us comeback is met with skepticism by major toy makers But believe it or not, Toys ‘R’ Us may be eyeing a comeback of sorts. Former Toys ‘R’ Us executives have started a new firm dubbed Tru Kids. Led by former...

    Path of Exile

    I wound up with a fair amount of currency at the end of this league. Nearly 20ex. I guess I should have really tried to craft something since I know nothing about it for the most part.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I can officially die now. Friend of mine came by a few weeks ago. Yesterday he says "Noticed there's a new church out by you I'll pick you and I'll take you". Not really my thing but umm ok. I'm not going to argue about getting out of the house now. It was a "cowboy" church. My friend drives a...

    Going to "the big city" lol next week for an appointment I'm going to go to GC and at least play a few of the ones I'm interested in. It feels like going to Best Buy to look at stuff before you order it from Amazon.

    Sorry probably too late now. I always just ask for well salt and it comes in 50 pound bags for water softners at the well.

    You probably don't have feed stores. They sell 50lb. bags of ice used in large water softeners at wells here. I think tractor supply sells it for that purpose as well.

    I played a hierophant arc totem and it was incrediably cheap, did most of the stuff with a 5 link chest until I got some ex and bought a 6 link. I have no desire to kill shaper so I did all the maps up to tier 14 with no problem at all and have done 2 guardians for no real reason. I have 15 ex...

    I haven't fished with live bait for freshwater fish since I was probably 8. Apparently looking it up the TX state record now says caught on a missow in Fork. The guy used to say he was crappie fishing with a jig vertically under the bridge. January 24th super early (and my birthday, I shoulda...

    @TheBeagle I had other issues pop up last night. I'll try him again this afternoon or tonight, assuming you are headed to Fork over the weekend. I never got a real answer as to why the guy who caught the state record bass works there. He's kind of a PR guy at the hatchery. He's not trained in...

    Thanks. Bought my guitar at a guitar shop and my other one I had given to me. The few times I've been into a guitar center (maybe 3 times) I've seen a guitar dropped each time. Kind of killed off me wanting to buy one there. Good to know, got a gift card for sweetwater was just kinda leery on...

    I think when you have septic problems as well it's pretty easy to notice. My parents had a piece of foam break off they had used to seal a pipe on the side and it floated to the inlet coming in on the drain. Instantly could tell, no question about it. The stuff I mentioned is just for regular...

    They make stuff you can add to your septic system once a year or something by just going down the drain with it. I don't think it's very expensive. I use the homeaid recipe I got from A&M with just household stuff. You're supposed to have it pumped out every so many years. The newer type...

    Don't forget as you get older to factor in you'll have more stuff you do yourself now you'll have to pay someone for later. I'm always kind of suprised on some of the retirement threads some people will say stuff like "set around the house" and such. Until just recently I was planning on...

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    They have a new dollar store in a small town between here and where I go to the hospital. I stopped in there the other day in a hurry. It's more like a supermarket with a dollar store built onto it. Maybe 3 isles of freezer food and fresh produce. Seemed odd to me, maybe it's a new thing. I...

    Living in Eastern Europe on a Budget

    I only pirated a few games in the mid 80's off a BBS because we had limited computer stores and that was pretty much the only option to get. Maybe 4-5 of them. Would ask about X game at a store and they were like "I dunno". Not that market it is now.

    It goes to standard in remove only tabs. So you can remove it on standard. But you can't accumulate a lot of usable tabs. You'll wind up with a bunch of remove only tabs on standard eventually. So you can't add to that tab and have a bunch of tabs, only remove stuff.

    My parents have medicare but they have supplimental that a lot of people use that suppliments what medicare doesn't pay. I'm not sure what their cost is.

    Kind of what I was thinking. When I was small I remember going to Tomball and then you left and then drove to Houston, same for Spring and Conroe. I haven't been thru there in a while but except for the signs you never know you've left one town and entered another.

    This late in the league selling stuff for 1 alch or teransmute is going to be hard to do I imagine. If you start running maps you can do the chaos recipe for chaos.
